Teartop Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Found this http://www.rawstory.com/rawreplay/2011/08/911-coloring-book-sparks-controversy-for-demonizing-muslims/ My first thought was, kids colouring this in would be to young to be told of the horror of 9/11. If there was a 7/7 version would it sell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teartop Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 Disgusting. Brainwashing of the children. I do not think it's brainwashing. I think it's cheapening the history of the event. It's also aimed at kids that are to young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deedar Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 It's not about educating kids, it's about making money for the publishers at the expense of Muslims. I find it in abhorrently bad taste and I'm surprised it ever got approved for publishing!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_Sleeps Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 It's not about educating kids, it's about making money for the publishers at the expense of Muslims. At the expense of which Muslims? The only way your statement could be true is by answering "the ones which flew the planes into the towers", and their feelings are irrelevant. It is in a little bad taste, but that is no reason to ban anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was a 7/7 version would it sell? Ha Ha! What a ridiculous bit of pro American propaganda! Have you read the quotes from the book?! "Americans are Free!". What a load of tosh. Try telling that to the thousands of families who are still without homes in New Orleans! This is sick, it should be banned and the publishers/authors need locking up!

Chris_Sleeps Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 This is sick, it should be banned What would Bill Hicks say to that? It should be mocked, and it should be laughed at. It shouldn't be banned. A spokesperson for the publisher said that seeing bin Laden get shot “provides closure” for children. It didn't provide any for me.

He was also against war. I think Bill would have said that the classroom is the place for educating children & the job should be left to teachers, not money grabbing book publishers who have no interest in education.
